Here are suggested issues in your personal life and in governments whose result can be a matter of choice.  Pick one to work on as you take this journey into the Interactive Peace Museum.

An Issue of Human Rights

1.    Women are being treated like property of their husbands.  What can be done?

2.  There is an active slave trade in your country.  What can be done?

3.  There is genocide taking place in a foreign country.  What can you do?

4.  In the 1994 Rwandan tragedy, many children were separated from their parents.  Who can help reunite displaced families?  How can it be done?

5.  Hate crimes are being committed in your community.  What can be done to stop the learned bigotry which leads to
hate crimes?

SOMEWHERE IN AMERICA.....
EVERY HOUR Someone commits a hate crime.
EVERY DAY At least eight blacks, three whites, three gays, three Jews and one Latino become Hate Crime Victims.
EVERY WEEK A Cross is burned.

or choose your own issue.  Make sure to state the issue clearly.  Write it out on a piece of paper.
In fact, you might want to jot down the various paths you have taken as you venture through the Museum.

6.  A public institution in your city/town is not accessible to the physically challenged.  What can you do?

After you have picked one issue to work on, scroll down and pick three things you could do to resolve this issue.  If you would like to read a prayer before going on, click here.  If you would like to walk a labyrinth to meditate on your issue before starting, click here.  http://www.lessons4living.com/finger_labyrinth.htm   One way to walk the labyrinth which you might like:  First circle:  state your issue, Second Circle:  state the emotions around the issue.  Third Circle:  State the physical and economic ramifications of your issue.  Fourth Circle:  How does this issue effect you personally and spiritually?  Fifth Circle:  Ask whoever is your highest power to help you.  Sixth Circle:  You get a manifestation.  It may be what you already thought, but it may be something completely different.  Seventh Circle:  You get the first step.  Middle:  Relax-don't think.  As you come out of the labyrinth, in each circle think about what you learned.  Peace!

For those who question whether their thoughts effect others, click here for a fascinating experiment:

1.  Below are various techniques & steps you may choose to take to address your Issue of Human Rights.
    Click on the three which you think would be most helpful.

2.  After picking the three techniques/steps you think would be most helpful, research each by
     a)  Clicking on the suggested web links  and
     b)  Research each technique/step on the web; in your library; with an expert of your choice.

3.  If you would like to clarify your learning:
    a.  List your issue.
    b.  List the three choices you made and detail the research you have done on each.
    c.  State why you think that step or technique will work or not work.  You might want to consider some of the questions
         below in your analysis:
         1.  Is the step pro-active or reactive?
         2.  Can the step be done by yourself or do you need to create or join an organization?
         3.  Does the step mean that the culture in which you live has to change?  In what way?
         4.  Does the step mean that the structure of your government has to change?  In what way?
         5.  Is this a step to be taken world-wide, country-wide or on a smaller basis?
         6.  If this is a step you can take by yourself, what are the risks involved?
    d.  State what you think the results of your intervention will be.
    e.  State what you might want to do next, if anything.  (examples:  1.  form a discussion group through email or in         
         your geographic area  2.   do further research.)

4.  If you would like,  send your summary in an email to the author of the Interactive Peace Museum.  I would be happy to
     learn from you what you think of the Interactive Peace Museum, what you liked about it, and what could be improved.

are themselves rooted upon and
based in violence and inequality,
including creating at every level social, political, and economic democracy – people’s power."  Johan Galtung

22.  Read this poem from the Metta Sutta,  A Discourse of the Buddha on Loving-Kindness

This is what should be done by those who are skilled in seeking the good, having attained the way of peace:

...Whatever living beings there are, whether they be weak or strong- omitting none-
Whether long, large, average, short, big or small,
Seen or unseen, dwelling near or far
Born or to be born-may all beings be happy.

Let no one deceive another or despise anyone anywhere.
Let none out of anger or hostility wish suffering upon another.

Just as a mother would protect with her life her own child, her only child,
So should one cultivate a boundless mind toward all beings and friendliness toward the entire world.

One should cultivate a boundless mind-above, below and across,
Without obstruction, hatred, or enmity.

Standing, walking, sitting, or lying
down, throughout all one's
waking hours,
One should practice this mindfulness; this, they say, is the supreme

state....

Translated by the Nolanda Translation Committee, Excerpted from "Friendliness" a translation of the Metta Sutta.

27.  Social Investments were
initiated in the U.S. in the 1920's. 
Europeans had to wait until the 1980's
before they could invest in morally,
socially, and environmentally correct
companies.  A socially controlled
economy allows investors to live up to
their principles.  Instead of giving their
support to companies that turn out
weapons, pollute the environment or
have something to do with tobacco,
alcohol, gambling or child labor in third world sweatshops.
